"A good album from the 90s. Ness' voice makes him come across as more of an Irish or Scottish protest artist rather than somebody from New England. Thankfully the lyrics that he writes are very well done and makes sure that his voice doesn't come across as a gimmick. Ball and Chain is the iconic s..." [+] Reply

"Cringy lyrics, awkward production choices and pseudo "omg so experimental" qualities. It's only experimental in the realm of pop, and merging popular sounds together isn't hard or unique; it's been done plenty of times before, and better. (see: Gorillaz) Going wild in a small sandbox isn't really..." [+] Reply

"These guys seem like a record company concoction to sell hip pop music to indie kids. i know it, best buy knows it, so they should just admit it. Knowing this, the songs still work. Commercial jingle "flathead", "chelsea dagger" and "baby fratelli" are just too much fun in an INXS kick/x way not ..." [+] Reply

"Possibly the most venomous satire of Newman's career atop breezy country, orchestral and jazz arrangements. As always Newman spares no one side a fraction of his wit." Reply

"authentic and native heavy metal album. if you like this kind of music (pure heavy metal), you will adore this one quite likely. dio has a fantastic hardrock voice - maybe the best? imo much more intense than judas priest's shot." Reply

"The recording of Sheet Music is reputed to be the highlight for the four members of 10cc. However, it is The Original Soundtrack that portrays the clever lyrics with catchy music and melodies. Une nuit in Paris is by far the wittiest song ever written. It is followed by the moving I'm Not in Love..." [+] Reply

"Along with Blag Flag and Bad Brains, Minor Threat helped create one of the most intense and heartfelt genres. Hard Core! Although the musicianship isn't completely there yet, this band deserves a nice score for creating a genre that spawned some of the greatest bands ever." Reply
"This is by far the best Harmonium album and the best Quebecois album in history. I'm clueless as why this is so underrated but l'heptade is a true masterpiece of the prog rock genre that can't be fairly appreciated after only one listen." Reply

"This time around they come with crisper production and a few heightened gimmicks. Fortunately for them, all the gimmicks work, starting with the title track, "I and love and you", the love-song-by-addition which reflects the popular i-heart-NY t-shirt directed specifically at brooklyn. It's the b..." [+] Reply
